On August 12, Perseid meteor shower peaks as Earth passes through the debris of the comet Swift-Tuttle. Around 10-15 meteors can be seen per hour, according to International Meteor Organization.
After the sunset and sky is dark enough (probably after midnight) and away from city lights, look towards the east direction of the sky. The Perseid meteor shower radiant lies over constellation Perseus.
